The prompt I was given by Elisa was, "above." I don't own NCIS.


"I'm above the jokes."

"Lies! You are the joker of the team."

"Not anymore."

"You are lying again! You just played a prank on McGee today."

"That was not me. That was..."

"Who? Eli?"

"Yes! Eli did it."

Ziva laughed and shook her head. She looked at him once before looking down at the little boy playing on the floor in front of them. "Are you saying that our two year old son put superglue on McGee's desk, Tony?"

DiNozzo chuckled and looked down at Eli who was running two trucks into each other. "What can I say? He is learning from the best," the senior field agent said, looking over at Ziva.

"Now I could believe that if there were not two things in the way. One, he was at daycare all day and two, he is two years old! There is no way that he could superglue McGee's keyboard! I cannot believe you are blaming Eli for your childish joke!"

Tony smirked and looked at Ziva. "Hey, it was worth a shot. But you are too observant for your own good," he replied.

Ziva rolled her eyes and got off the couch. She picked Eli up, holding her son close to him. "Eli, your father is crazy," Ziva said, looking down at him.

"But your mother loves me," Tony spoke up, getting off the couch and standing next to Ziva. He also looked down at Eli, a soft smile on his face. "So she deals with me."

"You are lucky, you know that?" Ziva asked.

"I know."

She then kissed his lips and he kissed her back, their son watching them from the middle. Maybe they were both crazy, but they were a family.
